5 Jun 2014 - 4:32pm
I was terminated from a company owned by Temasek Holdings on 05 June 2014.
An anonymous person tipped off my company about me posting remarks on Facebook which they deemed to be detrimental to the company.
However, the AVP of the company said in an earlier meeting with me, that the company was concerned about some remarks which I have posted on your FB page which suggested that I support the opposition instead of the ruling party. (the person who tipped them off also informed them of this).He requested that I stop posting comments on your subjects which can put the ruling party in a bad light. He further suggested that the company is concerned that these remarks would make the company look bad as I am employed by the company. I did not know then that the company I used to work for is owned by Temasek Holdings, until after I heard from a taxi driver and I confirmed it with my AVP.
I am a good employee with no previous record of misconduct and I have received numerous letters of commendation and awards for good service with the company, and yet I was immedately terminated with no warning or notice.
I know Temasek Holdings is owned by LHL's wife, but are all employees of companies owned by Temasek Holdings have to support the ruling party headed by the Husband? Isn't Singapore supposed to be a democratic society where we vote for our leaders? Our political views should not be an issue no matter where or who we work for, right? Or am I mistaken and that we are being controlled as well?
Is anyone else being discriminated by their company for their political views as well?
I have already filed a complaint with Ministry of Manpower and do not intend to drop this matter until I am given a satisfactory answer for this discrimination and unfair dismissal.
